Tipton broke the news on Instagram, confirming Abraham’s decision.

“UConn wing Isaiah Abraham is entering the @transferportal, he tells @on3... The 6-7 freshman is a former top-65 recruit. Appeared in nine games for the Huskies this season,” Tipton wrote in the caption.

A native of Gainesville, Virginia, Abraham played high school basketball at Paul VI Catholic in Fairfax. He was a highly-rated four-star prospect, ranked No. 63 in the 2024 recruiting class. Despite offers from programs like Providence, Marquette and Virginia Tech, he chose to join UConn.

With Abraham entering the transfer portal, UConn’s scholarship count currently sits at 13, reaching the full limit.
